The Unique
Advantage of Synergy-Com Supplements, designed for nutritional
supplementation of Your Nutritional Type.

Synergy-Coms
are unique formulas for the following reasons:

They
are produced from a culture of living organisms, much like yogurt
is grown.

Each
individual vitamin and mineral is grown on its own culture,
under controlled conditions of temperature and moisture.

This
means that each individual vitamin and mineral has all the naturally
occurring proteins, carbohydrates, enzymes and lipids that are
produced in the growing process.

They
are not isolates of the particular item, such as Vitamin B-6
or Calcium.

They
truly are organic food source products.

In
order for the body to use any vitamin or mineral, it must first
be combined with an amino acid, a carbohydrate, an enzyme or a
lipid. This is the basic limitation of synthetic or isolated vitamins
and minerals. In order for them to be utilized by the body, they
must draw from the body’s reserves of amino acids, carbohydrates,
enzymes or lipids, because they are isolates.

If
the balance between the various components is correct, high potencies
are not necessary or even desirable. The Synergy-Com formulas
do not draw from the body’s reserves because those items are a
naturally occurring part of their growing process and are included
in their formulas. This makes them truly function as highly concentrated
foods.

Why
should I use Synergistics supplements from Ultra Life
instead of some brand from my local health food store or some
other supplier?

A: The
primary reason is because Ultra Life, Inc. is the only
supplement company that produces formulas exclusively designed
for the different Metabolic Types.

You obviously
have a strong interest in your health and are working to enhance
your well being. This can only be accomplished by using the
correct supplements for your system.

Q: As
long as I use good quality supplements won’t my system simply
pick out what it needs and reject the rest?

A: This
is, unfortunately, an all too common misconception. It is often
promoted by those who either do not understand Metabolic Typing
or choose to ignore it. Supplements will always have a significant
influence on how your body works. It will not always be the
same but may vary from only slightly noticeable to quite profound.

While it
is true the body will attempt to get rid of what it cannot use,
this concept is greatly misunderstood. It should be noted that
this process requires a lot of energy expenditure. In many cases,
it may require more energy to get rid of the incorrect portions
than is derived from the correct portions. This means there
could well be a negative energy drain on your body.

In addition,
if the supplements are incorrect for that individual’s Metabolic
Type, they may actually make an existing imbalance or symptom
much worse. The correct supplements will have
a very positive effect on correcting the imbalance and thereby
help in relieving the symptom.

The correct
supplements, designed for the specific Metabolic Type, will
always seek to establish balance in the individual. Metabolic
balance within the various Fundamental Homeostatic Control Systems
is the secret of good health and long life.

Q: Why
do you not have a list which shows what each product is used
for?

A: This
is perhaps the crux of that which separates us from all other
supplement companies. It is neither honest nor accurate to state,
"If you have this problem, take this product.” This is
the common thought being promoted today throughout the entire
supplement industry but it is incorrect.

This idea
is based on the allopathic medical model which says, “For this
symptom take this drug.” This also is not accurate or correct
because of the differences in the individual Metabolic Types.
This misconception is most singularly responsible for the confusion,
inconsistency and misunderstanding in the world of nutrition
today. This same confusion, inconsistency and misunderstanding
exists in the medical world as well, for the exact same reason.

Please
take note: The same nutrient can produce exactly
opposite reactions in different Metabolic Types.

This
is also true for medical prescriptions. That is why in the PDR,
you often see opposite reactions listed in the “side effects”.
For example: "May cause lowered blood pressure" or
"May cause elevated blood pressure".

This is
why we do not give a list of what each product is “used for”.
It is not possible to know what reaction it will have unless
you know the Metabolic Type of the individual and which of the
Fundamental Homeostatic Control Systems is being influenced.

This is
a difficult concept for most to grasp because it requires a
totally different understanding of the proper usage of nutrients.
The proper way is to use them to restore balance to the metabolism
of each individual. All symptoms are simply the manifestation
of the imbalances in that individual. The severity of the imbalances
determines the severity of the symptoms.

No disease
or illness is caused by a deficiency of any drug. They are,
however, caused by nutritional deficiencies and/or metabolic
imbalances. The only way to restore good health is to restore
metabolic balance.

The only
way to restore metabolic balance is to know what the Metabolic
Type is of the individual, so they can eat the correct diet,
take the appropriate nutritional supplements and employ proper
detoxification procedures when they are indicated or desired.

Q: Why
are the Synergy-Coms not very high potency products? Also, they
are more expensive than some multiple vitamin–mineral formulas
I have looked at.

A: Synergy-Coms
are unique formulas for the following reasons. They are produced
from a culture of living organisms, much like yogurt is grown.
Each individual vitamin and mineral is grown on its own culture,
under controlled conditions of temperature and moisture.

This means
that each individual vitamin and mineral has all the naturally
occurring proteins, carbohydrates, enzymes and lipids that are
produced in the growing process. They are not isolates of the
particular item, such as Vitamin B-6 or Calcium. They truly
are organic food source products.

If the balance
between the various components is correct, high potencies are
not necessary or even desirable.

Perhaps
a bit of digression is in order here. In order for the body
to use any vitamin or mineral, it must first be combined with
an amino acid, a carbohydrate, an enzyme or a lipid.

This is
the basic limitation of so called “synthetic vitamins and minerals”.
In order for them to be utilized by the body, they must draw
from the body’s reserves of amino acids, carbohydrates, enzymes
or lipids, because they are isolates.

The Synergy-Com
formulas do not draw from the body’s reserves because those
items are a naturally occurring part of their growing process
and are included in their formulas.

This makes
them truly function as highly concentrated foods.

Q: I
understand the benefits of using products designed for my Metabolic
Type but I truly have a financial problem. Is there any way
to reduce the monthly cost and not lose the individuality benefits?

A: The
best way to reduce the cost is to simply take the recommended
products less frequently. Ex.- If your program says take them
3 times a day, reduce it to 2 times daily or even 1 time a day.
It is better to take the proper balance less often rather than
trying to choose the best one out of the recommendations.

Q: What
is special about the Enzigest formulas? There are many enzyme
formulas available and they all claim to help digestion.

They are
specifically designed to meet the different digestive requirements
of the individual Metabolic Types. They are specifically formulated
to meet the varying needs of the Protein Type, the Carbo Type
and the Balanced or Mixed Type.

All contain
the same enzyme components but the ratios of the various enzymes
are different because the ratios of the proteins, carbohydrates
and fats in the recommended diets vary considerably.

Q: How
long will it take for me to notice results from taking these
supplements?

A: It
varies, due to a number of factors. Some of the most common
are things like;

How far
out of balance are your Fundamental Control Systems? Do you
have a serious or chronic disease process going on? How close
is your diet to the one recommended by your metabolic profile?
Are you a “junk food “ eater? Are you on prescription drugs?

The list
goes on and on, but these are some very common influences on
your metabolism.

The usual
thing first noticed by most people is improved digestion and
will usually be detected within the first 5 to 7 days. Then
the next thing is usually increased energy due to getting more
benefit from the food being consumed, along with being slowly
brought toward your individual metabolic balance. There are
usually noticeable reactions within 2 or 3 weeks but if there
are strong interferences in your metabolism, then it may take
much longer.

Q: What
do the numbers 1, 2 or 3 mean after the various supplements?

A: This
is just a simple means of classifying various products according
to the Metabolic Type for which each one is most appropriate.

In general,
the #1 is most often recommended for either the Carbo Type or
the Sympathetic or the Slow Oxidizer.

The #2 is
most often recommended for either the Protein Type or the Parasympathetic
or the Fast Oxidizer.

The #3 is
most often recommended for the Balanced or Mixed Type.

Q: Will
I have to take supplements the rest of my life?

A: Unless
you can raise all your own food on a totally organic basis and
avoid all the virtually universal environmental pollution, the
answer is probably “yes”. The amount of supplements required
can many times be only a maintenance level, if you do not have
any major problems.

This foundational
level would basically consist of the proper multiple vitamin
mineral formula, along with the correct digestive enzymes and
the proper essential fatty acids, for their individual Metabolic
Type. This would be the best insurance policy for good health
and long life one could employ.

Q: Why
does the color of the supplements vary from one lot to the next?

A: Because
no coloring agents are used in any of the supplements, what
you are seeing are the normal variations that occur in the raw
materials. This is influenced by the time of the year they are
harvested, the weather conditions under which they are grown,
the granulation size of the particles of each item plus weather
conditions at the time of manufacturing.

Q: What
is the shelf-life of the products?

A: Under
good storage conditions of reasonable temperature and moisture,
unopened vitamin mineral tablet or capsule products will have
a shelf life of three years, minimum. After opening, they should
be used within 90 days.

The most
common problem is that many of the products are hydroscopic.
This just means they tend to draw moisture. If this occurs,
they can sometimes become sticky or dark or actually melt from
the moisture.

Enzymes
are a bit different in that they tend to lose potency over time.
For most, if they are kept dry, the loss of potency is ½% to
2% per year. That is why Ultra Life always adds 10% beyond the
label quantity to all products.

The Glandular
products are also very stable because of the freeze drying process
used in their production. Again, their greatest enemy is moisture
so they should be used within 90 days after opening. They really
are specially manufactured dehydrated products whose shelf life
is at least five years. They would make excellent items for
long-term food storage.

Oils are
a bit different. Their shelf life is usually a year to 18 months,
depending on the level of Vitamin E in them. Obviously the product
does not go from being good to not good just because of a date.
It is a question of rancidity due to oxidation and this is largely
determined by the antioxidant level of Vitamin E.

Probiotics
are usually considered to have a one-year shelf life. They do
not go “bad”. What happens is they use up their food supply
and then begin to die off so the potency can decrease in terms
of the number of live organisms. They are usually kept refrigerated
to keep them in a state of hibernation. Some are kept in hibernation
by drying them so those kind become activated by the presence
of moisture.

Q: Can
I chew all my supplements?

A: All
can be chewed except for enzymes and HCL containing products.
Many do not have a great taste so chewing is somewhat a matter
of choice.

Q: What
is the best way to get a child to take tablets or capsules?

A: This
is a major problem for some families. It depends a lot on what
the child sees the parents do because they learn by example.
The age of the child is also quite important as very young ones
simply do not know how to swallow large items (unless it is
something they shouldn’t, like toys or coins or rocks).

Usually
one can grind the tablets or empty the capsules into something
like yogurt or applesauce or even mix them into soup or baby
food and get them down the child pretty well. Sometimes they
can be mixed into thick juice, such as tomato or pineapple.

One might
start the child learning how to swallow tablets by giving them
only a part of a tablet at a time. Children can usually learn
rather quickly how to do it and if they are encouraged when
they do learn how, it soon becomes no problem for them.

Q: Are
there side effects to these supplements?

A: Sometimes
there can be. Usually they are very positive as everything begins
to function more efficiently. Occasionally there are detoxification
symptoms as the increased metabolic activity causes the body
to begin to move things around.

Q: What
if my recommended diet and supplement program doesn't work?

A: Time
may be the key element. Our culture is oriented towards fast
results. But a fast result is often not a reasonable expectation.
Whatever your health condition, it probably took years for it
to become what it is. We recommend that you stick with the program
for at least six months -- in relative terms, that probably
would be a fast result. If, after six months, you are not satisfied
with your results, email us. Describe briefly your condition
before going on the program and after the six months. Confirm
that you followed the diet guidelines and took the basic Synergistics
supplements for your type. List any specialized supplements
and how long you took them. Send your email to results@naturalhealthyellowpages.com.

Q:
I have just taken my Nutritional Profile Metabolic Test. It recommends certain supplements
from Ultra Life, Inc. Why should I use Ultra Life supplements
instead of some from my local health food store or some other
supplier?

A:
The primary reason is because Ultra Life, Inc. is the only supplement
company that produces formulas exclusively designed for the
different Nutritional Types.”One size fits all” does not work
in nutrition. Your optimum health can only be accomplished by
using the correct supplements for your system.

Q:
As long as I use good quality supplements won’t my system simply
pick out what it needs and reject the rest?

A:
This is, unfortunately, an all too common misconception. It
is often promoted by those who either do not understand Metabolic
Typing® or choose to ignore it. While it is true the body will
attempt to get rid of what it cannot use, this concept is greatly
misunderstood. This process requires a lot of energy expenditure.
In many cases, it may require more energy to get rid of the
incorrect portions than is derived from the correct portions.
This means there could well be a negative energy drain on your
body.

In
addition, if the supplements are incorrect for that individual’s
Metabolic Type®, they may actually make an existing imbalance
or symptom much worse. The correct supplements will have a very
positive effect on correcting the imbalance and thereby help
in relieving the symptom. The correct supplements, designed
for the specific Metabolic Type®, will always seek to establish
balance in the individual, a vital element of optimum health.
